Title: Several questions on the trailing arms
Post by: CJHenderson on March 12, 2021, 13:05:34

I'm rebuilding the trailing arms and first question is the washer over the rubber bushing correct or does the edge needs to be pointing outward? Next, is the trailing arm for the driver side?

Your question is a little confusing. The trailing arms are different and must be installed on the correct side. They point slightly inward when installed correctly and the "half crescent" metal ridge is also in-board when installed correctly.

Thanks this is then for the left side.

It is for the right side. Once you flip it over (installation orientation) the metal "C" is toward the inside.

And the bush is installed incorrectly.
